Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 box (about 15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Mixing the Base: Start by combining the softened cream cheese and red velvet cake mix in a large bowl. Stir gently until you get a smooth, even dough that’s easy to shape without crumbling.
  2. Shaping the Truffles: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into uniform 1-inch balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Preparing the Coating: Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring until silky smooth. If desired, add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  4. Dipping the Truffles: Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Tap off any excess chocolate gently.
  5. Final Touches: Place the coated truffles back on the lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or edible glitter before the chocolate sets. Chill again until firm.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing and prevent lumps.
  • Chill truffles thoroughly before coating to achieve clean, smooth finishes.
  • Work quickly when dipping in melted chocolate to prevent clumping.
  • Adding a pinch of salt or espresso powder can boost the chocolate flavor.
  • Store truffles refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness.
